Description

It’s never easy when someone in your family has dementia and caring for them inevitably becomes a full time job.

Our specialist Dementia Unit is designed to stimulate their minds and help them live with dignity in a safe, caring environment.

The open plan lounge and dining room has a lovely home like feeling which opens onto a secure outdoor dining area and garden. This allows our residents the freedom to enjoy being outdoors when the mood suits without the risk of them wandering off.

We are accredited practitioners of the ‘Spark of Life Programme’ which is based on international research and development. The programme is proven to help tap into the memory of those with Dementia and to improve their self-esteem and confidence.
